The song, a Baroque pop single, is played with cello and a countermelody performed on a flute, based on about a half dozen chords. One of Nilsson's first hits (although a minor one), it explains the sadness of dreaming each night that the woman he loves will be there but, she never is, and the melancholy of spending another day without her.
